When I was your age I had a VW bus, which saw a lot of action . . . if you know what I mean.

Get a crown vic! Those things are stupid cheap, parts are everywhere, and with a P71 they accelerate decently. And... big back seat! I'm tellin' you, this should be your primary motivation in a vehicle at your age.

[QUOTE=VRFlip;7023923]Hawkeye is wise. My second car was MUCH more fun than my first.


My first car:



This is so funny, my first car was pretty much just like that and I had no problems (with the front and back seats folded?, dont exactly remember).
S197 not gonna happen!

Better be careful with that big back seat. A much bigger accident could occur

I personally would not put that much power in the hands of an inexperienced driver.. especially if it is their first car.

Yeah even when your used to power 400+ is tough to handle. I have an 05 that i got last year and drove stock for 5 months, then put it away and supercharged it over the winter. first drive i almost managed to kill myself and get a speeding ticket haha. all within the first minute! But, If i was you id do it. At 16 i chose a new 06 f150, which after about a month i was kickin myself that i didnt get a mustang. And manual would probably be better. lets you have more control of the car and kill some power, which is very useful when you get stuck in rain. Im only 20, so i can relate. If money isnt an issue go GT because either way its enough power to do stupid ****.
